SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 12/25- “Hallelujah! It Really Did Happen!” (Isaiah 9:6)
Premise Question: So, just what did really happen on that unique and oh so wonderful and most glorious night?
“For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6 NLT)
For The Immortal Divine Word of Papa God, became mortal; taking upon Himself the human form of flesh and blood, as the only begotten Son of The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty’s provision to us. When He comes to earth, to dwell amongst humankind, as a humble servant, it will be to carry the weight of the world’s transgressions upon His shoulders; ultimately becoming The Supreme Ruler of everything and everyone. And, He will have and be known by these magnificent names: The Wonderful Counselor—astonishing all of humanity with His awesome wisdom, guidance and great comfort, The Almighty God—for there is none that can be compared to His Omnipotence, The Everlasting Father—because He is eternal, without a beginning and without an end, The Prince of Peace—He, who becomes, is and shall forever be, The King of kings and LORD of Lords; establishing a Kingdom of Peace, for all of humankind, even into infinity and beyond. (Isaiah 9:6 PDCP)
Bottom Line: The prophet Isaiah, who foretold of the birth of The Anointed One, somewhere in the neighborhood of about 700 years before the blessed event occurred, but is now, a historical fact, accepted and believed by the multiplied multitudes of The Company of The Redeemed, some 2000 plus years beyond the blessed event that occurred on that extraordinarily unique, oh so wondrous and most glorious Holy Night, is now to be told by all members in good standing, of The Company of The Redeemed, to everyone everywhere in the world—this wonderful and glorious message of Good News, which is: “Hallelujah! Joy to the world! The LORD has come! Let earth rejoice and receive her King!”
Merry Christmas and may the blessings of good will, great joy and perfect peace of The LORD GOD Almighty be upon us all! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 11/11- “Salvation Is Our Ultimate Reward!” (1 Peter 1:8-9)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 11/11- “Salvation Is Our Ultimate Reward!” (1 Peter 1:8-9)
Premise Question: What is our sure and certain reward, how do we qualify for it, and what kind of affect/effect does it have on us, and produce in us, now, as well as into our eternal future and beyond?
“You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.” (1 Peter 1:8-9 NLT)
Even given the fact that you’ve never actually seen The LORD Jesus Christ in person, you still love, honor and worship Him, with everything that is within you. And though you presently are not able to see Him in the flesh, your belief, trust and unshakable faith in Him causes an explosion of joy to go off inside of you, deep within the within, of the innermost part of your being, that fills you to overflowing, with His fountain of living water, His wonderful glorious presence, which there are no words that can be uttered that will even begin to adequately express what you are receiving and experiencing from The LORD. For this is what comes forth in your life, as a consequence of yielding and surrendering to Him when you’ve placed your complete trust and faith in Him; even your redemption, the eternal salvation of your entire being—spirit, soul and body. (1 Peter 1:8-9 PDCP)
Bottom Line: All glory honor and praise belongs to The One True Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and everything therein and even beyond, and who has provided a way of escape from death, hell and the grave, deliverance from all sin, darkness, captivity and bondage, for all those who will call upon The Name of The LORD, by placing their complete trust, hope, faith and reliance in and on The Name of The LORD—Jesus Christ!
Our sure and certain reward is eternal salvation—the total and complete redemption of our spirit soul and body! We are saved…regeneration of our spirit…we are being saved…sanctification of our soul…we will be saved, glorification of our body.
We are pre-qualified for our reward, as long as we simply put our complete reliance, faith, trust and hope in Him, by calling upon His Name—Jesus Christ, confessing our sin and believing in our heart that Jesus is The LORD.
The affect/effect that this decision to trust The LORD Jesus Christ with our eternal soul, is one of total exultation, outrageous celebration, completely enjoyable, being so full of joy that it is impossible to describe with mere words; for it is so wonderfully glorious that no amount of words or any type or kind of words expressed would do it justice, as it is far beyond our capability to do so! Our decision to trust in The LORD produces in us an assurance and peace that surpasses all comprehension and understanding!
Therefore, rejoice, celebrate, take delight, for our resplendent, being more than marvelous, magnificently brilliant, redemptive salvation, our ultimate reward, is drawing nigh! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 09/10- “The Hope Of Humankind, Jesus Christ—The Sovereign LORD Of All!” (Romans 15:13)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy.

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 09/10- “The Hope Of Humankind, Jesus Christ—The Sovereign LORD Of All!” (Romans 15:13)
Premise Question: Who is the true source of real joy and perfect peace, and what are we, The Company of The Redeemed specifically called, with expectation, to do with it?
“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13 NLT)
May Papa God, The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty, who is the fountainhead of all comfort, strength and hope, fill you beyond capacity, even to overflowing, with His great rejoicing joy and His harmonious tranquil peace; as you place your complete believing faith and utter reliance upon Him, Jesus Christ—The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty of all. In so doing, you, shall continually be a refreshing, effervescent flowing, fountain of life, filled with real hope, for all those who are full of anguish and despair, feeling dismayed and discouraged, rejected and dejected, desperately barren and brittle, dehydrated, drained and dry, without any prospects of real hope upon the horizon. This real hope, that fills you to overflowing, is The Blessed and only real Hope of humankind. And, it will never disappoint, falter nor fail, for it is fully endowed and supplied, by the overwhelming, more than sufficient power, of The Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13 PDCP)
Bottom Line: We, each and every member of The Company of The Redeemed, are all called to be filled completely, even to overflowing, with the releasing, refreshing joy and perfect peace of Papa God; who is the veritable fountainhead and true life-giving source of real hope.
Then, we are to carry this precious presence of the Blessed Hope of refreshing and renewing joy, that is within us, to a world that lacks hope and is desperately searching for relief, refreshing, renewal, with a sense of wanting to know why they are here, where and how they fit in, and what their reason and purpose for being here is.
Let’s all become more aware and in tune, making sure that we are being filled to overflowing, each and every day, with the veritable presence of The Holy Spirit—The Blessed Hope, in our lives, so that we will become an effervescent fountain of life, that flows out of our lives and into the world; touching the hurting, the helpless, the hopeless, the needy, the searching and the discouraged and dismayed, with the renewing and refreshing joy and perfect peace of Papa God, The only real Hope of humankind, The Blessed Hope—Jesus Christ, who is the true, life-giving, Fountain of Life! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 09/07- “The LORD Is Loving And Kind—Towards His Own!” (Jeremiah 31:3)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 09/07- “The LORD Is Loving And Kind—Towards His Own!” (Jeremiah 31:3)
Premise Question: Can someone come to The LORD, on their own, without first being drawn to Him, with His never failing, everlasting love?
“Long ago the LORD said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.”
(Jeremiah 31:3 NLT)
The LORD GOD Almighty Himself has shown up in times past, by making His manifest presence known and visible to us, in order to declare, as well as, express, His deep, heartfelt disposition and strong propensity towards us, which is: “I have loved you, I do and will continue to love you, and I shall always love you—My very own, dearly beloved, greatly treasured, precious children, with an unfailing, endless, boundless, enduring beyond and throughout all time and extended to all generations, everlasting love. For I have, Myself, personally and deliberately, enticed and allured you with My powerfully attractive, never changing kindness—that’s inexhaustible, constantly reliable, benevolently affectionate, full of gracious favor, and shall always be faithfully indulgent towards you.” (Jeremiah 31:3 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Papa God has shown us, all of humankind, His unique and greatly beloved creation, just how much He loves us, by kindly sending His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world, to take our place, in order to pay for each of our sins, so that we can have the wonderful opportunity of taking advantage of His merciful and most gracious gift of salvation and eternal life; that our loving Papa God has made available to everyone, through the offering of His Only Son upon the cross.
This actually, is what real, authentic, love looks like: He, The LORD, who is the personification of real love, first loved us, with His perfect love, that casts out all fear, as it is an everlasting love and one that shall never disappoint nor fail us in anywise; in regards to why He has openly put His lavish love on display, for all to see, which is His strong loving disposition and great propensity shown towards and shared personally with each one of us.
Finally, remember the very words of The LORD, when He said that no one can come to Him unless Papa God, His Father, the one who sent Jesus to the world, draws them to Him. And furthermore, Jesus also said, that when He is lifted up before the world, (which is part of our divine call and mission as members of The Company of The Redeemed) that He would then draw everyone unto Himself!
So, no! Unless someone is first drawn to The LORD, by and through the unfailing and everlasting love of Papa God, then one can not, nor do they even have the capability to come to The LORD on their own, except, but for the love of Papa God that compels us all to come to His Son, for deliverance from sin, salvation and everlasting joy and eternal life! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 09/06- “Stay, Don’t Stray, From The Path!” (Psalms 16:11)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 09/06- “Stay, Don’t Stray, From The Path!” (Psalms 16:11)
Premise Question: Is there anyone anywhere else, known or unknown to humankind, that can show the way and the where to go, in order for one to find, the path that will lead them, to a life filled with refreshing joy and the satisfying pleasure, of being in the very presence, of The LORD forevermore?
“You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.” (Psalms 16:11 NLT)
You, O LORD GOD Almighty, who is most loving and kind, merciful and filled with grace, have made it plain for me and all of humankind, to clearly see, the right path to take in life, by placing it directly in front of me. I’m truly blessed when I stay and do not stray, from the path You have chosen for me to sojourn upon. I am continually filled with Your joy and satisfying pleasures, that are far beyond any description, for they are not of this world. So, I will choose to stay close, right next to You, in Your everlasting and splendidly glorious, wonderful presence. (Psalm 16:11 PDCP)
Bottom Line: It is only The LORD Jesus Christ who can show humankind the correct way and the right where to go, in order to find the perfect path, that will lead them, individually, to eternal life, and in the process, grant them the fullness of joy, tranquility and everlasting peace; which is being able to have the great and wonderful and completely satisfying pleasure of living in His refreshing and marvelously glorious presence forevermore.
So, stay upon, and don’t stray from, the perfect path, that will lead to a life of joy, peace and satisfying pleasures forevermore. The LORD’s presence is really all we will ever need or should truly desire; for He is more than enough! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 07/30- “Integrity To Follow, Obey, Seek!” (Psalm 119:1-2)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 07/30- “Integrity To Follow, Obey, Seek!” (Psalm 119:1-2)
Premise Question: As a member of The Company of The Redeemed, what must one do, in order to enjoy and experience fully, Papa God’s gracious favor, and the wonderful resulting blessings and benefits that the presence of the joy of The LORD, in one’s life, faithfully produces on a daily basis?
“Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the LORD. Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts.” (Psalms 119:1-2 NLT)
Most highly favored, filled with blissful joy, are those who choose to conduct their lives in a habitual manner of walking in integrity, in every area of their lives; in complete agreement and harmony with, while being ever influenced and guided by, the Holy Instructions of The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty. Most highly favored, filled with blissful joy, are those who choose to follow closely, holding onto, guarding and protecting, observing and maintaining, Papa God’s Holy Instructions; which are the permanent record of the divine will of The LORD GOD Almighty, written down in His Holy Scriptures. And also, most highly favored, filled with blissful joy, are those who choose to fully comply, with His purpose and will for their lives, by obeying His commands, and then, holding nothing back or in reserve, but with their whole hearts, will urgently search for Him, seeking and looking for Him in every situation, circumstance, and moment of their everyday lives. (Psalm 119:1-2 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Anything that is built must begin and end with integrity and a sound plan. Whatever is built must have a strong and sure foundation. The structure that is built upon the foundation must have structural integrity. And while it is being built, in order for it to be built to withstand the challenges that may come up against it, that will surely try and test its fortitude, strength and integrity, the plan must be followed very closely, no cutting corners or codes, but a strict adherence, compliance and obedience to what is called for in the building code, which comes directly from the laws that govern the building of the structure, for the benefit, protection and enjoyment of everyone.
Our life can be characterized as a structure that we are building and erecting. Our joy, success and fulfillment in life is predicated on us having integrity; the integrity and strong foundation of The LORD operating in and flowing out of our daily existence.
We too, must follow the plan and blueprints, the specific instructions that Papa God has left for us in His Holy Scriptures, in order to truly have, enjoy and experience, a flourishing success story in this life and the life to come.
So, let’s have the integrity to follow, obey and seek; by building our lives with integrity and honor, the integrity of The LORD, and then honoring Him in all that we do and say, having the integrity to follow His instructions carefully, while building the structure strong and right, always maintaining a strict adherence, compliance and obedience to His Word, making it our practice and daily routine to ever search for Him, by seeking His face, not only His hand, wholeheartedly every day of our lives!
His integrity and sound plan + His structural integrity + our routine of integrity = stability and assures our success story, in this life and the life to come! For when we do this, His complete joy is ours forevermore! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 07/28- “Only The Word Of The LORD Is Faithful, Right And Forever Rings True!” (Psalms 33:3-5)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 07/28- “Only The Word Of The LORD Is Faithful, Right And Forever Rings True!” (Psalms 33:3-5)
Premise Question: How significantly important is it for Papa God’s children, each and every member of The Company of The Redeemed, to deliberately, with diligence and a determined dogged devotion, abandon themselves completely to Him, by giving Him all honor, glory, praise and worship that’s due His Name; as well as, accepting and fully trusting His Word as being the only faithful and true, right and exact, Word of The LORD?
“Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy. For the word of the LORD holds true, and we can trust everything he does. He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the LORD fills the earth.” (Psalms 33:3-5 NLT)
Allow for a new song to form upon your lips and come out of your mouth, one that flows from the innermost part of your heart. Sing it out, with complete abandonment, to The LORD. Increase and develop, through knowledge and with deliberate practice, your aptitude for playing instruments skillfully and with great excellence. Shout joyous praise to Him, with loud, boisterous and exuberant exultations; lifting your voice to Him and giving Him all that’s within you, holding nothing back in reserve. For there is only One Word that is genuine, authentic and exact, faithful and true, and that shall last forever! It is The Word of The LORD; trustworthy, always reliable, ever dependable, as He, Papa God, is ever faithful, and consistently constant, to keep all of His promises in everything that He ever says and does. The LORD is greatly pleased when His people live righteously, sharing His goodness and acting justly before all of humankind, according to His principles and precepts in His Holy Scriptures. The whole earth is filled to its utmost capacity with His inexhaustible, profoundly tender and compassionate, unfailing and deeply affectionate, everlasting love. (Psalm 33:3-5 PDCP)
Bottom Line: There is nothing more significant or important, than for each and every individual child of Papa God, who are members of The Company of The Redeemed, to completely abandon themselves to Him in worship, praise and faithful service!
When we choose to honor The LORD, first and foremost, by placing Him above and putting Him before all others and everything else in life, our lives will become enriched, strengthened, renewed and refreshed, as He, The LORD, will faithfully order each and every day of our lives; putting us at peace, filling us with His joy, through the power and personal presence of His Holy Spirit in our personal individual lives, by leading, guiding, providing, sustaining and comforting us, no matter what we may encounter or have to go through in this life.
Remember, and be greatly encouraged this day, by the absolute truth that’s clearly delineated and shown in Papa God’s Holy Scriptures: His Word is faithful and always rings true and exact! His Word always proves true and has the ring of truth, as it always holds true, fully supported by His resounding character and truth of His Everlasting Word!
We, therefore, can always count on Him and His ever reliable promises and His unfailing love to do all that He says it will do and be. For His enduring love, goodness, gracious favor, mercy and justice is pouring down from His heavenly abode, into and upon all of His children, filling and covering the whole earth! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 07/27- “Unbelievable, Incomprehensible, Inconceivable, Inimitable!” (1 Corinthians 2:9 NLT)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 07/27- “Unbelievable, Incomprehensible, Inconceivable, Inimitable!” (1 Corinthians 2:9 NLT)
Premise Question: Are we, as members of The Company of The Redeemed, truly looking forward to the day when the unbelievable becomes the believable, the incomprehensible is finally understood and comprehended, the inconceivable and the unthinkable becomes the conceivable and thinkable and finally the absolutely inimitable is clearly seen and personally experienced by each and every member of The Company of The Redeemed?
“That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9 NLT)
Nevertheless, just as it’s been written down in Papa God’s Holy Scriptures, and therefore, has been forever established: “it is beyond unbelievable, quite improbable and extraordinarily remarkable what human eyes will one day see, as well as, incomprehensible, literally impossible to understand now, at this time, what human ears will hear on that day, and, it is completely inconceivable, far out of reach, for any human mind to imagine, the inimitable things that Papa God has in store for those who show their love for Him;” by honoring and obeying His Word, and loving their neighbors as themselves.
(1 Corinthians 2:9 PDCP)
Bottom Line: What we, each and every individual member of The Company of The Redeemed, shall see one day with our own eyes, which at this present time has not yet been revealed or seen by those who are still alive and well, here in this world; is beyond all improbability, and is going to absolutely astonish, amaze and stagger us, as the unbelievable, the impossible to ever believe transforms and becomes the possible and the believable right before our very eyes!
Our ears also shall be transformed, as we will no longer be baffled or limited, when we hear something that seems to be fathomless and beyond our comprehension of ever knowing or fully understanding that which is now, the incomprehensible; for we will have ears that will hear, know and comprehend perfectly.
And our minds, which are incredible, but at this present time doesn’t have the wherewithal to even begin to imagine, what for us is, the unimaginable, as it is completely inconceivable and too wonderful, glorious and extraordinarily beautiful for us to even to think of or consider, shall also be transformed and completely renewed.
But, the day is coming, and perhaps sooner than we think, when we all, every member of The Company of The Redeemed, shall stand before Papa God and His Son Jesus Christ, and see, in person, what once was and still is, the inimitable—all that has been and presently is being prepared for all those who love, honor and obey Him and His Son; which is far beyond ever being matched, surpassed or imitated, as it shall be supremely unequalled, unparalleled and magnificently glorious to behold and forever experience. Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 07/25- “The Search For Authenticity—Let Papa God Be The Final Arbiter!” (Psalm 139:23-24)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 07/25- “The Search For Authenticity—Let Papa God Be The Final Arbiter!” (Psalm 139:23-24)
Premise Question: Is it ever a good idea or does it ever work out to our own advantage or benefit, when we try to manage, hold things back or keep things in our lives hidden away from others and The LORD?
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” (Psalms 139:23-24 NLT)
Thoroughly examine and scrutinize me, Sovereign Almighty Papa God, and know with certainty and a clear perception, completely understanding the very core of who I am at the innermost part of my being, the seat of my emotions; test and try me, in order to determine and evaluate my authenticity and genuineness, and clearly discern my mental anguish, as I am afflicted with great distress and concern. Perceive whether there be any displeasing, rebellious, insolent, unpleasant, disagreeable or repugnant manner, unacceptable attitude or inappropriate behavior in me; for I fully surrender myself to Your leadership, Your purpose and perfect will for my life, being confidently assured that You shall guide and direct my path upon the everlasting divine way of Your eternal truth and life. (Psalm 139:23-24 PDCP)
Bottom Line: We don’t ever really gain any kind of edge, benefit or advantage when we, on our own, try to just manage our sin, our challenges and issues going on in our lives, by keeping things hidden in compartments of our lives, away from the view and knowledge of others, under lock, chains and keys of secrecy. For all that we end up accomplishing, is a self-imposed incarceration of being held captive in a prison of our own doing and our own mind! We will never truly be successful in trying to keep those things under wraps, as they eventually become unmanageable and begin to come apart at the seams, unravelling at an alarming rate, completely out of our’s or anyone else’s control, save The LORD’S! That’s why it is so vitally important to be open, transparent and accountable to The LORD, and others, by confessing our sins, faults, mistakes, misgivings and failings with those, who also confess their own sin, challenges and issues with The LORD and others.
The LORD doesn’t need us to tell Him what’s going on in our lives, even the parts we think are hidden and buried deep, within our within, with a no access or trespassing sign posted, a gate and huge lock and chain on it! For in The LORD’S case, it’s completely impossible to keep anything hidden away from His view or knowledge, as He sees all, hears all and is fully aware of all, at all times, on all occasions, as nothing ever escapes His omniscience.
Papa God wants us to be open and transparent with Him, because it is what we need and should do, in order to come clean, be made clean and have the ability to have a just, right, satisfying and fulfilling, authentic, intimate, personal relationship with Papa God; as this will work to our greatest advantage and extreme benefit in every area and compartment of our lives.
So, in our search for authenticity, validation and acceptance, let Papa God be the final arbiter of everything in our lives, as He will always faithfully lead and guide us upon the path of eternal truth, life, with complete joy and perfect bliss. Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 06/22- “Pursue Righteousness And Unfailing Love, And You’ll Find Life!” (Proverbs 21:21)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 06/22- “Pursue Righteousness And Unfailing Love, And You’ll Find Life!” (Proverbs 21:21)
Premise Question: Where in the world can a person go to and who can they run to, in order to find a satisfying, really enjoyable, abundant living, virtuous, spiritual life, of dignity and renown; that’s sustainable, as well as, having the greatest amount of longevity, and, that’s also full of an inexhaustible, completely trustworthy, reliable, never ending, matchless love?
Whoever pursues righteousness and unfailing love will find life, righteousness, and honor. (Proverbs 21:21 NLT)
It matters not who you are or from whence you came, for if you choose to strive to gain, following hard after, in order to attain, right and just living, as well as, with earnest devotion, seek Papa God’s love, the only love known to humankind that’s unfailing, incomparable and freely given, a redemptive love that endures forever, you shall prosper; enjoying and experiencing to the fullest, a life filled with His goodness, His love, His everlasting joy and peace, and that, with great value, dignity and high honor. (Proverbs 21:21 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Where can a person go to find dignity and real life, and who does a person run to, in order to experience authentic love, be valued and given great honor?
Well, it really is quite simple and easy to answer. For anyone and everyone, anywhere and everywhere, can go to the place of safety, comfort and refuge; which is, the place of The Almighty’s presence.
And then, once there, in His glorious presence, can choose to run into the anxiously awaiting, readily accepting and completely embracing, loving arms, of the full of grace and mercy, Sovereign LORD—Papa God Almighty, and there receive the fullness of everlasting joy and peace, living eternally in His glorious presence and light!
We, as humankind, have a holy quest, a race to run, and are to run this race of life, treating it and approaching it, as the greatest and most honorable thing we are called to do in this life; which is, a lifelong pursuit of Papa God’s holiness, His righteousness and His unfailing love.
Therefore, we are to run our life-race with all our might and with joy; the joy of The LORD, which strengthens and enables us to finish our life-race, running strong towards and through the finish line with endurance, honor and grace, into Papa God’s glorious and great light, His boundless and endless love, His everlasting joy and His most merciful and gracious provision of righteousness and life eternal! Blessings…
